m/n = 65.4 = 65 + 0.4

The 0.4 is the result of dividing the remainder 14 by n.

So 14/n = 0.4

n= 35. Hence D

the remainder = $$14 = 0.4n = \frac{4}{10}n$$
so $$n = \frac{14*10}{4} = 35$$

We can create the equation:

m/n = 65 + 4/10

m/n = 65 + 2/5

Since we are told the remainder is 14, we can also create the equation:

m/n = 65 + 14/n

We now can equate 2/5 and 14/n and determine n.

2/5 = 14/n

2n = 70

n = 35

Alternate Solution:

We can express the remainder as 14/n, and we know this is equal to 0.4. Thus, we have

14/n = 0.4

14 = 0.4n

35 = n

We need to know an important idea of division to resolve this problem:

Divisor= Remainder/decimal part of the quotient

Here, Divisor = n
Remainder = 14
The decimal part of the Quotient = .4

So, n = 14/.4 = 35
